My dad was based at Kenley in the late 50's - I went to Kenley County Primary School (the best school in the whole world then), and we lived in MQs at Foxon Close - which were still under construction then.

There were still a number of WWII wrecks around the perimeter then, and I remember playing in the cockpit of one - I think it was a Hurricane. ISTR there was the hulk of a larger aircraft there, maybe a Wellington. We also found quite a lot of live ammo in the grass and surrounding woods, which we did very dangerous things with.

Halcyon days....
